Abstract
Background: Bedside teaching is a concentrated form of small-group teaching that takes place in the presence of the patient. Improvement in communication skills in a sympathetic manner with the patient and the ability to provide a purposeful history description and earning skills in clinical examinations is a goal that can only be achieved at the patient’s bedside. Bedside teaching has declined in recent years despite all its benefits; however, there are strong recommendations to continue this teaching modality for its valued benefits. In this context, we aimed to deal with the importance of bedside teaching and the challenges ahead in the covid epidemic as well as its alternatives for teaching medical students. Evidence acquisition: This study was conducted through a literature search on articles in English with the relevant keywords (((((((“students, medical”[Mesh]) AND (“COVID-19”[Mesh])) AND (“education”[Mesh])) AND (“patient-centered care”[Mesh])) AND (“patient care team”[Mesh])) OR (“teaching rounds”[Mesh])) OR (“education, distance”[Mesh])) AND (“Physical examination”[Mesh]) using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, Cochrane, and Embase databases from 2001 to 2022. Results: In our search, 22 related articles were found, 3 of which were clinical trials) and 4 were review articles. This study summarized the following important issues related to bedside teaching: 1- We discussed the definition, importance, benefits, and difficulties of bedside teaching on the way to education; 2- We deliberated the causes of reluctance to carry out education at the bedside and the ways to deal with the reduction of its implementation; 3-we also noticed alternative methods for medical education in periods of special contact restrictions with patients such as the COVID-19 epidemic in this review. Conclusions: Bedside teaching has a fundamental role in medical education. In particular circumstances, such as covid 19 epidemy, in which the bedside teaching courses were suspended, it is necessary to allocate other educational arrangements and design a distance learning curriculum, including virtual teaching, uploading videos to view clinical procedures on social media platforms, interview with a virtual patient, and simulation.
背景:床边教学是在患者在场的情况下进行的小组教学的集中形式。以同情的方式提高与患者的沟通技能,以及在临床检查中提供有目的的病史描述和学习技能的能力,这是只有在患者床边才能实现的目标。近年来,尽管有种种好处,但床边教学却有所减少;然而,有人强烈建议继续这种教学模式,以获得其宝贵的利益。在此背景下,我们旨在应对床边教学的重要性、新冠肺炎疫情中面临的挑战及其对医学生教学的替代方案。证据获取:这项研究是通过对英文文章的文献检索进行的,相关关键词为:“学生,医学”[Mesh])AND(“新冠肺炎”[Msh]))AND(”教育“[Mesh][Mesh]),2001年至2022年使用PubMed、Scopus、Web of Sciences、Cochrane和Embase数据库。结果:在我们的搜索中,发现了22篇相关文章,其中3篇是临床试验),4篇是综述文章。本研究总结了以下与床边教学有关的重要问题:1-我们讨论了床边教学的定义、重要性、好处和困难;2-我们讨论了不愿在床边进行教育的原因以及减少实施的方法;3我们还注意到,在这篇综述中,在新冠肺炎疫情等与患者的特殊接触限制时期,医学教育的替代方法。结论:床边教学在医学教育中具有基础性作用。在特殊情况下,如新冠肺炎19流行病,床边教学课程暂停,有必要分配其他教育安排并设计远程学习课程,包括虚拟教学、上传视频在社交媒体平台上查看临床程序、与虚拟患者的访谈和模拟。
